Creating Opportunities for Better Lives for All In Kern County
Everyone deserves opportunities to have a good life, a quality education that leads to a stable job, enough income to support a family through retirement, and good health. That's why United Way of Kern County's work is focused on the building blocks for a good life:
Learn Well. Earn Well. Live Well.
Childhood Literacy
Helping children achieve their potential through early childhood development.

Health
Helping end hunger in Kern County.
Economic Resilience
Helping families become financially stable and independent.
Advancing the common good is less about helping one person at a time and more about changing systems to help all of us. We are all connected and interdependent. We all win when a child succeeds in school, when families are financially stable, when people are healthy.
United Way of Kern County's goal is to create long-lasting changes by addressing the underlying causes of these problems. LIVING UNITED means being a part of the change. It takes everyone in the community working together to create a brighter future.
